Open Mic 7pm Chgo Time: PC or MAC?

ME Liz Strauss wrote this at 1:43 pm

Join Us Tonight

The age-old question — PC, MAC, or Something other?

We might talk about great features, what each does best, which laptop for school or business, who’ll own the market in 2018, or whatever else comes up, even flamenco dancing.

Oh, and bring PC or Mac links to share!

The rules are simple — be nice.

Do be nice. :)

    The ultimate computer holy war and you’re expecting people to be nice? This should be interesting. :)

    This should be exciting! I agree with Tim though…..this topic can get heated :)

    I’m hoping to drop in tonight (from class of course!!) Don’t worry, though. It’s not Tim’s class :)

    Hi Tim!
    You think it can’t be done? Maybe we’ll make history!

    Hi Eric!
    If folks can’t talk without getting emotional and heated, how strong is their argument?

    Hmmm, isn’t that a thought?

    I am so in…

    Hey, did you know I am a wine illiterate? I am trying very hard to remedy that though…maybe you could do an open mike on wines…how to pronounce the names and which ones people like…that pronunciation gets me all the time.
